MAX3485CPA+

The MAX3485CPA+ is one member of the MAX3485 family which is designed as the 3.3V-powered, 10Mbps and slew-rate-limited true RS-485/RS-422 transceiver that can be used in (1)low-power RS-485/RS-422 transceivers; (2)telecommunications; (3)transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications; (4)industrial-control local area networks applications. And this device contains one driver and one receiver.

Features of the MAX3485CPA+ are:(1)operate from a single 3.3V supply-no charge pump; (2)interoperable with +5V logic; (3)8ns max skew; (4)2nA low-current shutdown mode; (5)-7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range; (6)allows up to 32 transceivers on the bus; (7)full-duplex and half-duplex versions available; (8)industry standard 75176 pinout; (9)current-limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload protection.

The absolute maximum ratings of the MAX3485CPA+ can be summarized as:(1)Supply Voltage (VCC): 7 V;(2)Control Input Voltage (RE, DE): -0.3 V to 7 V;(3)Driver Input Voltage (DI): -0.3 V to 7 V;(4)Driver Output Voltage (A, B, Y, Z): -7.5 V to 12.5 V;(5)Receiver Input Voltage (A, B): -7.5 V to 12.5 V;(6)Receiver Output Voltage (RO): -0.3 V to (VCC + 0.3 V);(7)Continuous Power Dissipation 8-Pin Plastic DIP (derate 9.09mW/°C above +70°C): 727 mW;(8)Continuous Power Dissipation 8-Pin SO (derate 5.88mW/°C above +70°C): 471 mW;(9)Storage Temperature Range: -65°C to +160°C;(10)Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec): +300°C.
